[Question/feature request] Where is configuratoin stored now?

See original GitHub issue

I lost this note in the 6.1.3 release note https://dbeaver.io/2019/07/31/dbeaver-6-1-3/ New project configuration format was implemented. Main advantages:

Which direcotories should i now backup to save my DBeaver configuration? $HOME/.local/share/.DBeaverData/workspace6/ is full of stuff i do not need to backup (logs, locks, plugins, …) old dir $HOME/.dbeaver4/ seams ot be dead and gone, correct?

Could you please save logs, locks ands stuff in one dir, which again i do not need to backup, and real config files that help me bootstrap a new dbeaver install from scratch with no pain (logins, credentials, shortcuts, windows/tabs positions, …) in one dir, which basically will be the only dir i will need to backup? Pretty please… 😃

Regarding original question: Workspace contains all the stuff (including working files). You can skip .metadata folder if you don’t need it. Also all dbeaver configs may be placed in different projects. Eg. you may have one local project + several shared projects (cloned from Git). All projects reside in workspace folder. Default project name if General. So if you don’t use multiple projects you can backup just folder workspace6/General.

@wiwwo It is ~/.local/share if XDG_DATA_HOME not set (just fixed the wiki page, thanks for noticing) @snakyjake1 You can change default location by passing -data path command line parameter (or add it in dbeaver.ini file)
